What are the ways that overprotective parents don't respect, even love their children?

How do overprotective parents view their children as somewhat inept, incompetent, &amp; even slow? Parents are overprotective of their children because somehow they view their children as not being capable of handling &amp; interfacing with their environment properly. They really don't have confidence that their children are &amp; /or will be competent. They also believe that somehow their children don't have the wherewithal to handle &amp; solve whatever problem comes their way.

When parents are overprotective: * they teach the child that the child isn't capable, undermining willingness to try * they intervene so often the child doesn't get the experience trying and learning to do things right * the parents make excuses and offer assistance instead of strengthening those skills, so the child has excuses for not doing well and the help doesn't actually help
